Nearly 7,000 Manchester United fans have voted in a poll on whether Michael Carrick is the right head coach, with 44% saying they are already not convinced he is the right man for the job. The result comes after a difficult start to the season that has left the club with just two wins from seven league games.
Poor start to the season
United have won only two of their opening seven matches, a return that has disappointed supporters, particularly given many believed the Reds had been handed a favourable start to the campaign. The team has also already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup, losing to Brighton in the third round, and have just one win in the league.
One of the few positives from the opening weeks has been their perfect record in the Champions League, where they sit on maximum points.
Fan poll results
Talk around Carrick's future threatened to dominate headlines over the international break before Matheus Cunha's late goal at Fulham in the last game before the break ensured his position was secure. Following that draw, United fans were asked whether they were convinced Carrick is the right man to take the club forward.
Of the nearly 7,000 readers who voted, 44% said they are not convinced he is the right man for the job, while 39% said they remain convinced and 17% said they are unsure.
Upcoming fixture
Fans are now being asked whether this weekend's game against Tottenham is a must-win for United, with a poll open for readers to share their thoughts.
